[Primary lymphatic dysplasia in a newborn infant].
We describe a case of primary lymphatic dysplasia in a newborn, presenting with lymphedema, chylothorax, and chylous ascites. Malfunction of the lymphatic system, which is supposed to cause this rare disorder, could also be responsible for a number of cases of non-immunologic hydrops fetalis.
